Common use of Purpose of this MoU Clause in Contracts

Purpose of this MoU. 3.1 This MoU addresses the pre -exploitation and exploitation phases of the CMS detector. Its purpose is to def ine the procedure for determining the maintenance and operation (M&O) costs in these phases along with the mechanisms by which they are reviewed and by which the charges and responsibilities for the execution of this work are distributed amongst the Partie s. It sets out organisational, managerial and financial guidelines to be followed by the Collaboration. It does not address the offline computing needs of the Collaboration. These will the subject of a separate Memorandum of Understanding for LHC Comput ing as described in the document "Proposal for Building the LHC Computing Environment" (CERN/ 3279 Rev.). 3.2 Exploitation refers to the time after data -taking for physics has commenced at the LHC. Pre -exploitation refers to the time before this and in particu lar, for individual sub -detector/ system components of the CMS detector, to the time after they have been commissioned. 3.3 M&O comprises all of the actions needed to fulfil the CMS Collaboration co-ordination function and to operate and keep in good working order the individual components of the CMS detector, along with their respective infrastructure and facilities. 3.4 The CMS project is executed in the normal fra mework of the CERN scientific programme, approved by the CERN Council and subject to the bilateral Agreements and Protocols between CERN and non -Member States. 3.5 In case of conflict between relevant Co -operation Agreements or Protocols entered into by CERN a nd the present MoU, the former prevail.
